You may be familiar with the tremendously bearded Kyp Malone from his role as multi-instrumentalist with TV On The Radio, but being the creative type he's been busying away with a handful of other projects at the same time. One is the quite nice and occasionally crazy Iran, in which Malone provides guitar & backing vocals. Another has recently been announced as Rain Machine- what's essentially a Kyp Malone solo project.

The debut album from Rain Machine is to be released on September 22nd (artwork above- also by Malone) and from the video below, promises to be pretty decent.
